Thanks for ruining Infographics

Engage!

Here's a video showing the evolution of the jump to Warp speed. It's pretty rad and it reminds me that I never did get to sit down and watch an assload of Star Trek like I wanted to a couple weekends ago. Maybe I can squeeze some in this Labor Day. Oh wait.. the Jerry Lewis telethon is on... dammnit!

Links, 'cause I'm busy

Xbox Live Subscription Fee Raised. How about Microsoft refund me the cost of my second Xbox? Then we can talk about paying more for Xbox Live.


Freshmen Ferret First Year Follies. People who keep ferret's as pets weird me out.


Stay Puft caffinated marshmallows are real. If these weren't like a dollar a marshamallow I would be shoveling them in my mouth chubby bunny style every morning.

Today is the stupidest day ever (9-02-10)

nice bikini Andrea
So some math genius out there realized that if you bastardize traditional date formats today is 90210 day (9-02-10). Bill Simmons is even doing a special 90210 day podcast (if this alone isn't reason enough to never read Bill Simmons I don't know what is). It seemed like every blog I went to this morning had some stupid quip about 90210. Oh crap, I just realized I'm totally perpetuating this cycle of stupidity.

I swear this whole thing is like a 4-chan meme gone horribly off the rails. I really have nothing else to say about this other than Jason Priestley now has a ridiculous beard.

see you in another 100 years Jason

when Pron isn't Pron

If this isn't the weirdest thing ever I don't know what is. Some Mormon guy on some bodybuilding forum (it's always bodybuilding forums, isn't it?) has invented a creative way of turning an innocuous bikini pic into porn. In his own words..

"Being Mormon, I can't look at porn or nudity. So I have to get creative. That's why I invented "bubbling". Hard to explain so just scroll down:"

Yes just scroll down indeed.





Now odds are this guy aint no Mormon. I'm guessing he spends his Sundays worshiping at the temple of 4chan. But this was just way to weird not to share

Apple TV blows in a smaller form factor

"yes I know it sucks, now buy it, buy it!!"
So Apple unveiled some new products this morning. It was all a bit ho-hum. The I pod touch got crazy thin, the shuffle added buttons again and the nano looks weird and completely un-useable all pretty much status quo. However they did unveil a new updated Apple TV. It's insanely great. Take it away huff po.

"The new Apple TV announced Wednesday will only let people rent, not buy, content. For first-run high-definition movies the day they come out on DVD, people will have to pay $4.99. High-definition TV show rentals will be 99 cents.

The revamped Apple TV, which will be available within a month, will give people access to the high-definition version of movies just released on DVD, though he didn't say which movie studios have agreed to include their titles for streaming.

People who watch content from Netflix Inc. streamed over the Internet can also access their "instant" queue through Apple TV. Jobs said only News Corp.'s Fox and The Walt Disney Co.'s ABC have been willing to license their shows for streaming so far, but he said he hoped others would join once the service gains popularity."

That sounds so retarded it's awesome. Now I'm all for some sort of a la cart programming but paying a dollar to rent TV shows that are broadcast on over the air networks is a total scam. A scam that only the most deranged apple addicts could justify.

oh yeah it also only supports 720p not 1080. you suck Jobs, why did you bury the apple IIgs? Were you afraid it of how awesome it was compared to your sucky mac?

the Rocket Jump, just because

I have no idea what the point of this video is other than to show us how awesome rocket jumping is. enjoy.
